Welcome to Marsdens Devon Cottages – for the best holidays in Devon!

Marsdens Devon Cottages offer over a huge selection of holiday cottages across Devon, so whether you’d like a stylish apartment in Croyde, a rural retreat in Exmoor National Park, a characterful cottage in Dartmouth or a townhouse in Ilfracombe for a weekend break, we have it all. We have been offering high-quality holiday cottages in Devon and beyond since 1973. With 45-years of experience, we know how to hand-pick the very best cottages to rent in Devon so you can be sure of the perfect Devon holiday. At Marsdens Devon Cottages we pride ourselves not only on the quality of our cottages in Devon but also on the high-standard of service we provide.

We are pleased to offer lots of dog-friendly self-catering accommodation in great locations – near fabulous countryside walks, cottages on the South West Coast path, and close to dog-friendly beaches. We want your four-legged friend to enjoy their holiday in Devon too – so much so that with your help, we have created this interactive dog-friendly map so you can see the best places to walk your dog in Devon.

If you really want to get away from it all, you’ll also find we offer cosy holiday homes in the Devon countryside. These rural retreats often offer great value for a cottage holiday, or even a short break.

For those of you who like to book your holidays in Devon in the autumn, winter or spring, or many other times outside the school holidays, you’ll find you can get away for much less than you might think. Many of our holiday cottages in Devon also offer short breaks outside of peak weeks, so if you’d like a holiday cottage for a weekend or a few days, many of our Devon holiday homes will suit you.

We also have some unique self-catering Devon properties which are unlike anything you’ll find anywhere else. We have a converted chapel in Kingsbridge, idyllic wooden lodges on Exmoor, and numerous converted stables, granaries and barn conversions to rent all over Devon.Despite our name, we also offer some beautiful holiday cottages in North Somerset too – just have a look under “Exmoor Cottages”.

You’ll find that many of our holiday homes in Devon have been assessed by a specially trained member of our team as part of the Original Cottages Quality Scheme. They are then awarded a star grading so you can see the standard they have achieved, and can be confident of their quality when booking.

The incredible beauty and variety of the county draws many people to our holiday cottages in Devon year after year. Take time to browse our website and if we can be of further help in finding you the perfect Devon cottage holiday, please do give us a call – our friendly and knowledgeable team at Marsdens Devon Cottages will be happy to help you.
